[Wiltshire] i2P - anonymous surfing for the masses

[Lugo Teehalt]

I am not remotely expert in this sort of stuff.  But one aspect of i2P I like is that if you install it, configure its bandwidth by simply putting in the figures from a local speed test site, then it uses your internet connection for its own purposes.  This presumably upsets Virgin or whoever.  This is happy making.  You do not have to use it for your surfing or whatever the whole time.

The question of how secure it is is important but, when all is said and done, if it is insecure you have lost nothing, if it is secure you have gained.

There is nothing to loose, as far as I know, from installing and running this thing.  So why don't we all try it and see what happens?

Being ... no to switched on with all this.  What is the consensus then.



Go for I2P or not.  I went and read a couple of reviews which were positive

but I don't have the knowledge to know if this is a good or bad product?



Advice gratefully received.

Many applications are available that interface with I2P, including

mail, peer-peer, IRC chat, and others


I would question...



What does any of that do about the highly-accurate, complicated,

tracking going on in browsers...  that tie all the data

together, not just source-IP, think about complicated

crosscorrelation between cookies, flash-cookies, cached data,

logins, site-site agreements, user-agents, screen-res etc.. ?
